WE TRAIN MEANING

When you are a trainer or when you train— what are you really doing? A technical definition identifies training as teaching—teaching a skill so people have that skill at ready access in their behavior. That’s what happens at the primary level. But there’s more!

What you really do is train meaning. A skill after all is an expression of some meaning. What does it mean? What is it? What does it do? What is it good for? What does it lead to? These are all questions about meaning, about the meaning of the skill. And if you reflect on those questions, they are questions about the context and the operation of the skill. We could also ask about the significance of the skill, its intention, purpose, and so on.

What do you train? Take the subject content of your training and step back and ask the meaning questions about it:

Do you train NLP? You train the meaning and meaningfulness of the mind-body system, how it works, and how to take charge of it.
